THE CAROLINA MEETING.

By D. T. Shireman

OUR camp-meeting just closed at Hickory, N. C., was one of the best meetings ever held. To the hungry soul it was a feast of fat things. The Lord cares for His children, for the erring as well as the obedient. Oh, what love He bestows upon the children of men!

We believe there are better days before us here in the Southern field. The workers are united heart and hand. The Conference just organized starts out with bright prospects before it. May each one who has burdens placed upon him seek wisdom from above. This is a blessed privilege each one may enjoy.

At this meeting all branches of the work received due attention, and the spirit of love filled the heart of the campers. The school work received encouragement, and the Southern Missionary Society has taken hold-with us, and is putting an addition to our school building, 20 x 54 ft., doubling the size of the plant. The burden of the home, which has rested heavily upon us, has been taken from our shoulders. We pray that those bearing responsibility may have a spirit to work hard and sacrifice to help those who need help in this needy field. We have sought the Lord in every step we have taken in establishing the Hildebran school, and now we thank Him for the sustaining grace He has bestowed upon us during these four years of trials and hard work; and the friends who have stood by us with a helping hand in our time of need, and those who have written many encouraging letters, will never be forgotten. We shall be glad for continued co-operation, so let your good letters come to our table. Any help will be gratefully received, and used for the needy. D. T. SHIREMAN.
